I find it highly unlikely that the department of the federal government charged with corresponding with foreign nations and representing America abroad wouldn't have a satisfactory email system. That just seems dubious at best.
- fnordfnordfnord 12y agoDoes "satisfactory" include able to be uploaded to Wikileaks by an Army Private?
- remarkEon 12y agoThose are different issues entirely. Chelsea Manning essentially walked out of the SCIF with a bunch of disks - there wasn't any email hacking involved. Otherwise it's unclear what your point is.
- dmckeon 12y agoYou may want to re-evaluate - this was widely reported last month: >The State Department is still reportedly trying to block hacker access to its unclassified e-mail system more than three months after the intruders were first detected. http://www.enterprise-security-today.com/story.xhtml?story_id=1130009IV2CQ http://www.enterprise-security-today.com/story.xhtml?story_i... Yes, "unclassified", but, really? Three months? Really??
- remarkEon 12y agoYeah that's definitely in excusable. But what makes me even more curious is the care the author took to explain that it was only the unclassified system. So what about the classified network? SIPR? CENTRIXS? Are we to assume that HRC didn't send/receive any classified email? That just seems odd. So I'm starting to think that a) she did, in fact, have a government email to handle the classified material and b) chose to have her unclassified email off the network for other reasons that remain to be disclosed. Edit: I suppose there are other options. She could have used a staffer's email to send messages on the classified networks.
